The Colts Lucky Day (The Andrew Luck Project)

Oddly enough, he left too, so I had to get a new one. That's why I promoted Caldwell. He's doing great though. Sorry, I was going to put up my draft chart yesterday, but right after I posted the first time, I ran out of time again (dentist appointment). Hopefully I can post it tonight.

So, for this career, I wanted to move Peyton Manning and draft Jack English like the Colts. Here are my in-draft trades

QB Peyton Manning for 1(1)
2(44), 2010 1st, 4th round picks for 1(16)
1(32), 2010 3rd round pick for 1(29)
2(64), 2010 2nd round pick for 2(55)

Preseason depth chart. Jeff Saturday and Dallas Clark were traded. I didn't exactly record it, but I remember trading them and they're noticeably absent from the depth chart, along with Peyton. It's eerie, in a way, but is just like the Colts did when they got the new organization, cleaning house.

So, with a rookie quarterback and new players at a few positions, we were still able to repeat our 13-3 record and Super Bowl run.

Heading into the next season, I was a little short on draft picks, for me, but I didn't do anything about it. If I could get the sleepers, my team was talented enough that I didn't need a first rounder... or second.

Nobody retired, and the coaching staff didn't change. I can't think of the WR coach off the top of my head, but the QB coach is Paul Hackett. I'll look for the WR coach's name when I play head coach again.

Again this season, I didn't go after anyone in Free Agency. Here are draft results.

Trades
6(192), 2011 2nd and 6th round picks for 3(65)
3(82), 7(206), 2011 4th round pick for 3(72)
